“Aaron is great, super kind, responsible and a true animal lover. Our dog can be anxious and hard to handle and Aaron was unfazed by his needs, and took great care of him and our cat, Cookie”

“Absolutely fantastic. We could not be happier with MiLana. I am a helicopter dog mama (I'll just come right out and own it) but MiLana put my mind at ease with her professionalism. She was reliable, caring, and very attentive to our dogs' needs. We have two "tricky" dogs and MiLana was so incredibly kind and patient with them. She has a dog named Shanti who we now call "Shanti the Miracle Dog" because she got our 9 year old min-pin Penny to play. Our dogs went on more walks and trips to the dog park than when they're with us. MiLana was super responsive and sent us updates every single day with multiple pictures. We were able to relax on vacation knowing they were in great hands. We came back to a spotless house and two very happy dogs. Highly recommended. 5 stars all the way!!”
About: I have been pet sitting and walking for friends, family and side gigs on and off for 30 yrs. I personally have one gorgeous feline. I work part time from home so I’m very available. I can do day walks or overnights during the week and weekend as needed. Thanks! Depending on the pets home, either a fence or leash. My yard is fenced but I’d prefer house sitting or walking them at their house and neighborhood.
About: I have many years experience in caring for client pets and farm animals! I have house-sat at many homes for dogs of many breeds, cats, goats, sheep, chickens, rabbits, and more. I volunteer at the animal shelter in my free time and enjoy walking and caring for the animals there. I work remotely from my laptop, so I am very flexible and can work from your home as long as there is reliable wifi. I can fit in feedings, walks, medications, etc with your pet's routine schedule. For house-sits, I always take thorough notes from the owners, and happily check in as often or seldom as requested to ensure the owners are comfortable with their pet's experience while they are away.
“Michele responded quickly to my initial request. She came to my house to meet the cats and talk to me, which made me feel comfortable that they would be well taken care of. She sent me frequent pictures and videos, showing the cats playing and having a good time. I suspect they enjoyed their time with her more than the day to day they spend with me. She even informed me that one of my cats likes to participate in yoga. After 9 years, this was new information. When I came home the house was clean and cats were happy. I would highly recommend Michele.Hopefully she is available the next time I go out of town.”
“Kendall took care of my 3 kitties and house sat while I was away for almost 2 weeks. The kitties were well taken care of and happy when I returned. She took the time to clean the house and do laundry so I returned to a clean home, always great after a long trip. She was very responsive and accommodating. Extremely friendly and kind to the kitties. Hopefully she'll be available the next time I need to leave them.”
About: I’ve been caring for pets since I was in high school, giving me years of experience with animals of all kinds. As a proud pet parent myself—most recently to a beautiful French Bulldog—I know how to provide attentive, loving care. Whether it’s tending to the unique needs of puppies, senior pets, or anything in between, I strive to make every furry friend feel at home and cared for as if they were my own. I currently work remotely and have a flexible schedule. I am able to provide attentive care given my schedule and love to go outdoors as well. I will come to your home! I have a home safe and comfortable pets but prefer to go to the home and space they're most comfortable in.
About: I’ve been a dedicated dog person for my entire life. I’ve trained dogs to become truffle hunters and carnivore trackers but I don’t discriminate - I love ALL the dogs just the way they are. I’ve been a proud dog mom and recently lost my beloved pup, so am looking to fill that hole with other people’s dogs on a part time basis for a while, and to try out living in different areas of Mendocino County as I settle in here. I’m a full time Development Director for a local marine science non-profit with a good work-from-home and dog friendly policy. Your pet would be my companion full time, if they are able to accompany me during meetings and time at the office. I can work from your home if there is high speed internet on a full time basis, as well. I have a crate at my home and my place where I live is fully fenced in and good for dogs. My car is set up for a dog, and I am vigilant about giving your pup plenty of exercise and keeping them fulfilled and cared for with a full time watchful eye.

Kate is amazing!! We needed her last minute for Thanksgiving break after our original care fell through, and I’m so thankful she was available. She was incredibly communicative the entire time we were gone and sent frequent pictures and updates so we always knew our pups were happy. She stayed at our home with her two dogs, per our request, and all the dogs had an absolute blast together. She took great care of our home, followed every instruction perfectly, and went above and beyond to make sure our dogs felt comfortable and loved. You can tell she genuinely cares about dogs. I would ABSOLUTELY recommend her, and we’ll be using her again in the future!!
Aaron is clearly really experienced with rescue dogs with personality quirks, like mine. He went out of his way to step in to care for Starry while we went to my mother in law’s funeral; they had a lovely afternoon, and we could honor her worry free. Despite not being a dog owner his car is all set up for safe excursions with dogs because he volunteers with a shelter, so I felt really safe having Starry venture out with him. Would hire him again in a second!
